Humans, Trees, Rocks, Computer Mice have consciousness.
Consciousness is awareness and shared knowledge.
Without consciousness, there can't be memory.
The rings inside of a tree hold memory just as a human scar holds memory.
In a culture, each human appears to be a separate entity from the next, but currents of energy bind them together.
In a forest, each tree stands alone, but beneath the ground, it's roots are intertwined with the roots of its neighbor trees.
